Friends, I don't like the influence of money in politics anymore than you do, but you know what? We are not going to make a difference on Election Day without it. We can say this and we can say that, but the fact remains we are only going to get so far on my debit card.

So please, contribute today. Individuals can contribute up to $2,700 this election. If you don't have $2,700 - or if you do and you want to contribute that much - I will put any amount to good use.
